Like every follower of Christ, I have moments of doubt and disbelief. After all, ...faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 This is what faith is, it's an action word. It's deciding to put your heart where it cannot possibly get all the… Continue reading too good to be

endless praise
I've been thinking about my priorities and the paths that I am going to choose to follow. And I've been wondering: Can I be too "on fire" for Christ? Can I be too Christian?

I definitely don't… Continue reading only Jesus
